Reviews for The Practical Guide to Guns and Shooting, Handgun Edition: What you need to know to choose, buy, shoot, and maintain a handgun.

This is a great book for anyone looking to buy a handgun for the first time and does not know where to start. The author breaks down the various types of handguns, what you will need to accompany the new purchase (holster, gunsafe/action lock, proper cleaning tools, etc). Tom McHale did a great job of covering everything a beginner or even moderately experienced person needs to know about handguns, from buying to safety to shooting range etiquette to all the basics of shooting a handgun and resources to learn more. Highly recommended! Excellent info and resources. Perfect for beginning shooters giving basic info on guns and ammo. Looking forward to applying many techniques at the range and looking into some of the tips for pistol accessories. This book was terrific. A lot of basic info on handguns including safety, researching, buying, training, practicing, further reading... a really good primer. Valuable read without the confusing back and forth with the attitude you get in so many online forums. I got the sense Mr. McHale is truly concerned with the reader learning, he's not just writing to show how smart or right he is. Funny too, had me actually laughing out loud while reading in a room by myself. Ok, that part was a little unnerving, but still... After reading about how to research, and then walk into a gun shop for the first time and behave well and ask the right questions, it took the nervousness out of it for me - gave me confidence, and made my first purchase enjoyable. Much thanks to Mr. McHale.
